Great place to visit with friendly employee and environment. Fresh and delicious food options available as well. Must visit if you are a burrito lover.

December 11, 2023

Changing the 5 star to 1, because of wrong hours. Went there on 14th Saturday, and 15th Sunday within restaurant hours, but both times it was closed. Consider updating correct hours in Google.

Just another below average burrito place. Branding themselves as vendors of Mexican street food is overly boastful and quite frankly misleading. It’s the same as Chipotle, Burrito Jax, Habaneros, & dozens of other burrito chains. Sickly servings of sour cream, loose wrappings and sad topping options. Staff who don’t ask basic questions such as “for here or to go”. The only extra servings here are mediocrity with a side of disappointment. The decor is cute, and is actually levels above the quality of food or service. Will definitely not be going again!

Had the beef burrito and was very tasty and decent size. A little pricey but good quality. Wish there were more topping options as well. I was also surprised that you had to pay extra for guacamole at a place with the same name..

Got a bowl to go and some chips & guac. Portions are huge. Almost 2x as much as what you would find at Chipotle. Also ordered some tacos and tasted good. Overall, good portion and good tasting. Will eat again.

Huge portions but bland, uninspiring food. I visited the new Mountain Rd., location and being a first time customer, assumed it would be like any other typical Taco/Mexican restaurant. The interior is simple with a funky decor and they have plenty of seating for guests dining in. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable. The menu was fairly standard however there were almost no veggies to choose from when it came to 'building' my burrito: some stir fried red onion and green peppers. Plain brown rice, beans, plain sour cream, and overly dry salsa. My bowl was bland and tasted like white rice with a hint of sour cream. Cool environment and good portion sizes but I expected more flavour and variety from a Mexican QSR.

My friend and I came here to pick up dinner after I took her to her oncology appointment at the hospital. There were 2 employees working, a man and a woman. We placed our order for carry out for 2 burritos for my friend and an order of nachos for me. I requested my chips on the side. The man kept having to stop what he was doing to very patiently instruct the woman. It looked like it was her first day. My friend was quietly fuming at the painful slowness of the food prep, but I chalked it up to the crap time at the hospital. We were eventually rung up (it took about 10 minutes for our food to be prepared, once they started) and I said something along the lines of "oh, it's just your first day, it'll get better" or something along those lines, trying to be encouraging. Then she told me she wasn't new. And that she'd been working there for 3 weeks. YIKES. We took our food and made the 45 minute drive back to my friend's house. Upon arrival, we discovered that there were: -no utensils -no napkins AND -no chips for my "nachos" That's just WILD. I enjoyed my toppings with a spoon. Though not terrible, it seems like they stopped using pepper (aside from the jalepenos I had them include) to season the food, unless you have them add Texas Pete when they build your order. Pictures included of my chipless nachos and our receipt for reference. Original rating from 6 years ago was 5 stars for the excellent food and service

It looks very good at first glance. Im a fan of bouritos and South American cuisine. Unfortunately its not up to par: the bouritos leaks at the bottom, opens/not rolled-tight, aluminum foil is obviously not enough, my pants are dirty from the first bite. The ingredients are not mixed, we just eat guacamole then just rice then the meat at the end. The spicy salsa doesnt sting, and the bouritos cost $18 + tax because you have to pay for the extra guacamole!? The meat had no love, no Mexican spices, no taste... You want to sell Mexican food, you might need to master the technique and the taste. Not even coriander. Very disappointed. Afterwards the salespeople are friendly and it looks clean.

I recently tried the burrito bowl, expecting a flavorful delight, but it turned out to be a major letdown. The overpowering sourness completely overshadowed any other taste, and the tofu pieces were solid as rocks. The presentation was haphazard, and the lackluster service didnt help either. Save yourself the disappointment and explore other Mexican food options instead.

Bland flavors. Nothing stands out. The food is completely forgettable. And the worse part is the burnt or uncooked rice pieces which made eating the burrito bowl a very unpleasant experience...

Recently chose Guacamoles catering services for our corporate meeting (60+ individuals) and couldnt be happier. They have numerous menu options to fit your crowds taste, with a variety of dishes to suit all dietary requirements. You wont find much catering services that offer vegan and gluten-free without hassle. Their catering menu also accommodates every budget. The staff was friendly and attentive, and ensured on-time delivery with no items missing. We will definitely use their services again.

i was at guacamole to go eat supper and there was two girls working last night. one of them kept raising her voice and bossing the other on around even though you could tell the girl worked there much longer then the rude lady. she kept saying you have to do this this and this while she took pictures of herself? the other girl who was very sweet kept her voice at an appropriate level even though you could tell she was aggravated. the sweet girl was clearly a teenager while the newest yelling girl was clearly in her 20s. it s so wrong why would a teenager have to deal with that?

I dont understand how this place stays open. Its not a bad place , but for so-called mexican food, everything is bland and tasteless. To me, it tastes like buying the old el paso(tm) taco kit and making it without any real spices, garlic, lime, chili, everything that makes real mexican food pop. BORING.

Staff are poorly trained and awkward. I ordered a carnitas and guacamole burrito (~$15 with tip) and the person helping me didnt know what carnitas was. They used wildly incorrect portion sizes, giving me a very small amount of meat, and a huge amount of tomato salsa and sour cream, and didnt seem to know how to roll a burrito. This is definitely the fault of the owner/management and not the poor, undertrained person who was serving me. They clearly needed much more training if they dont even know the menu items. The other two staff in the store didnt help at all, they just silently watched with no input. Thankfully another staff member eventually remade the burrito once we requested and explained, because it was stone cold from all the tomato salsa and sour cream. After all this, the burrito was fine tasting, if a little on the bland side. Very awkward experience, but Im giving 3 stars since I did eventually get an edible burrito. I cant imagine how badly they may make delivery orders that you cant have remade. Try somewhere else.

Not as good as the Morton location. Server only used a half scoop of rice compared to the 2 the other stores use. My burrito wasnt properly mixed and not wrapped like a normal burrito. All the ingredients were in their own compartment. Meaning one section was all hot sauce and cheese the other only rice and the 3rd compartment the protein. The rice was dried out and hard, maybe if they werent so cheap with it they would be serving fresh rice. Not going back to the mountain rd location its has poor parking as well.

Pros: Reasonable prices, clean establishment, busy street view, big windows, free infused water! Cons: minimal inside seats- all bar-style & uncomfortable, not superbly flavorful ingredients. I always feel bad for servers who have to repeat options for customers a million times a day - there should be visual cues to notate the types of ingredient choices on the window similar to Subway bread options (especially during the current Covid-19 situation where the servers must raise their voices to be heard through their masks).

Went there last Tuesday and it was Taco Tuesday! Yum! I certainly cant complain about portion size cuz it was overflowing to the point of minor aggravation...not to be taken as a compliant, its not you its me! Anyways, it was yummy but could be injected with some more flavour. Mexican food is all about sharpness and acid(lime) and thats what the 4 star is about. Kick it up a notch and Im sure youll get to the 5 star. I dont mind the stool seating but my company had a bit of a time with it because of her age and stature. Cool and cozy spot! Thank you!

Great Restaurant. Have ordered the family taco kit a few times. All of the ingredients are packaged neatly. Portions are big enough for a family of four. My kids love making their own tacos. Left overs are easily stored to the fore mentioned packaging. Nothing but a great experience. Everything is so fresh. True experience with Corn Salsa, Lime Rice and of course the Guacamole. This is definitely not a Taco Bell where it is a simulated flavor and stale. Great. Love it!

Had his hat on backwards and just acted like he could care less. My husband was even surprised by his attitude. He was just standing around and didnt even say a thing when we came in. Seemed more interested in music and his phone. The girl working stopped what she was doing to help us while he stood around. We dont complain much and are not picky people.
